INSPIRATION:Demand for foreign bonsai is increasing. However, the Japanese bonsai market is shrinking. I learned this from the newspaper. How can young people know this thing? How can we stop the aging of producers? I thought that I could propose how to enjoy bonsai through photograpy.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:The young generation of the Japanese does not know how to enjoy bonsai. They think bonsai is just a small tree. How to enjoy bonsai is to feel the other small world there. Each way of feel is different, but I visualized it. I hope it is a trigger to know the world of bonsai.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:The thought of the producer is put in the bonsai. The pine makes the image of the sea, and the maple makes the image of the encounter. The simple composition of bonsai and women makes the image clearer.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:The project was conceived in 2011, it was taken in 2013, and it was exhibited in Osaka in October 2016.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:Photography and Photo Manipulation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:Bonsai and people were taken separately. Expensive bonsai can not move. Shot with the same lighting and expressed to be in the same space.

PROFILE:Yuichi Horikawa works as a freelance photographer, Retoucher, director and Direction Of Photography. Resident in Nara, Japan.
